Abstract

In this chapter we describe the main characteristics of the CR model. After a brief introduction and a detailed study of all the possible wave interactions, we prove the existence of a weighted total variation that does not increase after any interaction. This is the main ingredient used in the last section to tackle the Cauchy problem through wave front tracking.
